restricting access to drive_c

Post by jprosser »

Hi Folks,
When my users access the file system to save a document they have the ability to go up a directory beyond drive_c.

Is there any way this access can be restricted so that the drive_c directory is the root directory from the apps' perspective?

Cheers,
-Joe

Yes an no. Wine will let you browse your entire filesystem (anywhere you as user have access to). But will let you open files only from mapped drives.

This means if you remove Z: drive that is mapped to / (root) you will still see everything but won't be able to open it.
